I was thinking if the known methods of integration are enough to integrate any given function. In differentiation, we've evaluated the derivatives of all the basic functions by first principles and then we have the chain rule and product rule to differentiate any possible combination (product or...

I cannot find a website that answers this question, and all diagrams I see do not show that ATP is used. Does this mean that these processes are intrinsically spontaneous? I can see how the electron transport chain is spontaneous, as the oxidation of oxygen to water is favorable (E 1/2=0.7V).
